surprise!

well, I quit my job in the mountains, Utah to work full time here in Colorado at the homeless center, Feed My Sheep. It was bittersweet, because I loved wilderness therapy. I loved spending every other week on a mountain away from society. ha! such a simple life. and I LOVED my "wiggy", my -20 degree sleeping bag. It could be freezing but when you get in that wiggy it's like magic! It just gets warm in there. Even when I woke up to ice on the outside of it, haha.

I am SO blessed to be here at FMS. It was kind of like the Lord said, "Surprise Camille! You're right where I want you, and I want you here full time!" Ha! He snuck up on me and changed my plans. But it doesn't take very long at all for it to feel like home here at the homeless center. It's comfy with couches and and a living room feel. And the people here are so great. I wish you could meet Norm! We sit and read the funnies together and drink coffee with our creamer. He is a hoot! And Susan!! She is one of the most wonderful women I have ever met, she has a beautiful heart of a servant and is so encouraging! She has become one of my best friends.

In the mean time, the Lord is doing an incredible work in my heart. He is calling me back to a place of full surrender. "Offer me your whole heart...", he beckons.

Missing my fam during this Thanksgiving season. But I made some homemade banana pudding today that my mom makes every year. It was a taste of home :)
